Devyn Drufke

Devyn Elizabeth Drufke got her start in documenting tornadoes and storms in the northern plains. In 2007, while researching wedding photography after being asked to shoot a wedding, she discovered that wedding photography didn't have to be clichéd and boring. Studying the work of documentary photographers in the UK, she fell in love and photographed 23 weddings in her first 12 months of photography. 250 weddings later, she's still in love with being a part of weddings across the US, photographing with her partner Kristen.

Devyn and Kristen's style has been described as emotional and natural; capturing beautiful and candid moments as they happen.

Devyn photographs sports and news for Zuma Wire Service, and is in the process of photographing in all of the National Parks in the US.

This frame is subtle, but when I caught the cellphone between her legs, I laughed out loud. The photo was taken at the perfect moment and the lighting was well done. But it was the gift of cellphone placement that placed this photo so high.

This photograph has great energy and emotion as the groom lifts his bride in this peak moment of departure. Lens compresses the frame and highlights their same joyous expression! It’s perfectly framed with the groom holding her flowers and the band following behind.
